Title: traficstar DTS 3 piece split rims.... what they worth?
Post by: Jono FD3 on December 02, 2010, 05:31:23 PM
like the title says....
I know they are MEGA bucks new.... 4k + but second hand freshly refurbed.
going to be getting the center spokes powder coated gloss black & do the inlayed text in red (text that\'s engraved on one of the spokes on each wheel), with a polished outer rim.
the sizes of the rims are: 19x8.5 et36 fronts and 19x9.5 et41 rear.

anyway, any input and guide price you can give would be ace, and if you would be interested once they are done, even beter ;) ..... unless I deside to keep them for my FD that it! LOL

They are off a Mk4 supra originaly by the way, so presume the offsets wouldn\'t be far off for the rex ;)

Cheers
Jono

forgot to add a picof the wheels! LOL

This is the wheel in question (a new one) just so you know what we are talking about..... they are made by Maya & seem to be used on the high end stuff like ferraries, lambos etc these days! anyway, fire away guys ;)

Big money new, as you say. However the problem is the offsets aren\'t that awesome on those, and they are 19\'s, so you lose a fair chunk of the market straight away, so you may have difficulty.
 I\'d start at around 1k and hope that a Supra/Aristo/other luxobarge owner gets on the case :)
TBH they\'re more of a VIP look, so I\'d steer away from the gloss black centres - it\'s very dated now, and the red text could look very tacky and cheap. I\'d go with a silver/satin silver centre and polished lips, or even a full polish.


Nice wheels though :)

im  nore of a fan of polished rim with anthasite faces like the rz alloys.  think this would suit more than the black imo

the other oprion is I could get them powder coated to protect them & then bring them bang up to date by carbon coating the centres..... just to be a little different??

That will look hugely tacky and make them look like halfords rejects.

Nice aluminium silver with polished lip is the best look for those.


They\'re 3 piece so making them wider (thus mega cool) is pretty easy, lots of potential! Definitely good quality VIP look.
